Default ARP Header Bolts

Hey,
I'm installing Longtubes this weekend and want to get some ARP Header Bolts. Only question is should i get the 3/4" or the 1" length. 3/4" are only $18 while the 1" are $34? Thanks

I would just reuse the stock bolts. Those bolts aren't exactly bearing much load.

Thats why I replaced mine... only i spent $100 on the studs. They look bad *** though. If you have the option check to see if they come in 12pt heads. I love the way the 12pt nuts with look with the studs.
Also put alittle hi temp antiseze on the bolt threads when reinstalling. If you haven't changed your spark plugs and wires reciently now would be the best time to do it.

The required length is 1" IIRC, but I bought my SS locking bolts for $40, much better than just regular bolts for $34.

I went with studs becasue it makes it so easy to install and remove the headers.
